Daily Prayer_July 4, 2012

The Word of God for wisdom:

Proverbs 18:14 (AMP)
¹⁴ The strong spirit of a man sustains him in bodily pain or trouble, but a weak and broken spirit who can raise up or bear?

The Word of God for inspiration:

Psalm 3:4-5 (AMP)
⁴ With my voice I cry to the Lord, and He hears and answers me out of His holy hill. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
⁵ I lay down and slept; I wakened again, for the Lord sustains me.

The Word of God for encouragement:

Acts 23:11 (HCSB)
¹¹ The following night, the Lord stood by him and said, "Have courage! For as you have testified about Me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome."

My observation:

I am grateful for Independence Day in America. However, there is another day that I am more grateful for, and that is what I call Freedom Day. It's the day that Jesus set the captives free.

John 8:36 (HCSB)
³⁶ Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you really will be free.

No matter what you face in this world the Christ believer and follower has the assurance of knowing that they never have to face any problem alone. The Apostle Paul had a helper, and you and I have a helper to equip and enable us to fulfill our mission and ministry.

As the Lord stood by Paul, he will stand by you. When God is with you nothing is impossible. The one who made the highest mountain is the God who can move the mountains posing as mission impossible in your life.

What freedom we have in Christ, and what a friend we have in Jesus. Yes, the hymn says, "All our sins and griefs to bear". Don't forfeit your freedom, receive it.

My prayer:

Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so thankful that you are a God who delights to be in the presence of your people. Father, I draw strength from the abiding and the abundant presence of the Lord in my life. Father, help me to have courage, with the knowledge that you will provide and protect. In Jesus name, Amen.
